Riley Greene also went deep, and Gleyber Torres had two hits and walked twice in his return from&nbsp;<a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="https://apnews.com/article/tigers-gleyber-torres-injury-fb80c1ae5c0080fdadc5616b6ca7814e">an oblique injury</a>.</p><p>Kenley Jansen (2-4) got the win and Tyler Holton handled the 10th for his first save this season. Jansen struck out Alex Bregman for the final out of the ninth, leaving the bases loaded.</p><p>Trent Thornton (3-3) started the 10th for Chicago, but the right-hander was helped off the field after he was struck on his lower left leg by Greene's 108.9 mph comebacker.</p><p>Dingler made it 6-5 when he drove in Hao-Yu Lee with an infield single off Javier Assad. Cubs second baseman Nico Hoerner then committed an error on Kerry Carpenter's grounder, and Torkelson bounced his clutch single up the middle.</p><p>Dingler had four hits in his third career multihomer game &mdash; all this season. The All-Star catcher also picked off Seiya Suzuki at second for the final out of the fifth.</p><p>Suzuki, Michael Busch and Ian Happ homered for Chicago, which had won four of five. The Cubs trailed 5-3 before Happ hit a two-run shot off Kyle Finnegan in the eighth.</p><p>Chicago right-hander&nbsp;<a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="https://apnews.com/article/cubs-taillon-maton-counsell-2c06e672b6064d729d362abe3d6bcef0">Jameson Taillon</a>&nbsp;allowed four runs and five hits over 4 1/3 innings in his first big league start since June 7. He was activated from the 15-day injured list after being sidelined by a left hamstring strain.</p><p>Taillon looked rusty in the first, and the Tigers took advantage. Greene hit a three-run shot for his 15th homer, and Dingler followed with a full-count drive to center for his 20th on the season.</p><p>Chicago rallied in the third. Suzuki hit a two-run shot off Jack Flaherty, and Busch followed with his 13th homer.</p><h4>Up next</h4><p>Framber Valdez (5-6, 4.10 ERA) starts for Detroit on Tuesday night, and fellow left-hander David Peterson (4-7, 6.45) takes the mound for Chicago.</p>

                      <![CDATA[ <p>Air quality is improving in Chicago compared to last week.</p><p>Experts, however, say just because the smoke is leaving the sky doesn't mean it's leaving people's homes, as air conditioning units may be trapping some of those hazardous particles.</p><p>Hazy skies started the week, putting the city back at number one for worst air quality in the world by Monday morning.</p><p>Though not to be compared with last Thursday, there's now a concern that without proper filtration indoors, the harmful air can stick around much longer.</p><p>"People want to feel safe in their homes, and our data shows that they were not safe in this instance," said Joshua Rogers, president of Alertify. "We have a sensor ... plugs into your wall, and sends data about air quality, about sound levels, about dangerous chemicals."</p><p>Alertify tracked data from their sensors in 31 apartments with central air conditioning in five multi-family buildings in Chicago from last Tuesday morning until Monday.</p><p>"So when the air quality was sort of 600 to 700 AQI, it was actually around 340 in the apartments that we monitored," Rogers said. "We found that the levels of particulate matter indoors were also very, very high, shockingly high. Actually, in this case, in fact, we'd never seen levels like this that come from exogenous sources."</p><p>Data showing that even when the outdoor air improved, the air indoors didn't.</p><p>Experts say there is a common misconception that air conditioning units filter the air, but instead, it pulls in outside air and recirculate particles that have settled indoors.</p><p>"You can upgrade a filter in your home from, you know, there's certain levels, and if you get like a 13 or a 14, that'll do a much better job of filtering out this type of particulate matter," Rogers said.</p><p>Some organizations are partnering with the Chicago Department of Public Health.</p><p>"This is a global issue,&nbsp; it's a national issue," said Dr. Alex Sloboda with CDPH.</p><p>On a project that could help study the long-term health impact from days of pollution exposure.</p><p>"There are hundreds of sensors throughout the city that are on a daily basis monitoring for these similar pollution particles that we've seen from the wildfire to help inform those communities," Dr. Sloboda said.</p>

                      <![CDATA[ <p>A Chicago police SWAT officer was shot in the stomach while responding to a hostage situation after a woman was shot and critically injured Monday morning in the Albany Park neighborhood.</p><p>Chicago Police Interim Supt. Fred Waller said shortly before 11 a.m., officers responded to a call of a person shot in the 4600 block of North Springfield Avenue.</p><p>When officers arrived, they found a 67-year-old woman who had been shot and was critically wounded. Officers administered first aid and secured the scene, and learned a man was inside a home holding another woman and a teenage girl hostage. Waller said the woman being held hostage might be the gunman's girlfriend.</p><p>After securing the area and calling in a SWAT team, officers tried to breach the door of the home, and the gunman fired shots through the door, hitting a SWAT officer in the abdomen.</p><p>Both the wounded SWAT officer and the woman who had been shot were taken to Advocate Illinois Masonic Medical Center. Waller said the woman was in critical condition. The officer underwent surgery and was expected to recover.</p><span data-shortcode-type="error" data-shortcode-name="video" data-shortcode-uuid="8222ac5d-c970-4e7d-98ee-85ee150e821c" data-error="shortcode could not be expanded because of an api issue"></span><p>Shortly after the alert went out over police radio that the officer had been shot, there were more calls for help as a man who had barricaded himself inside a home with a woman and a 13-year-old threatened them with a gun, according to police dispatch reports. A woman begged the man barricading himself in the home not to shoot through the window and to turn off the gas.</p><p>"She's crying and yelling for him to turn off the gas. He's turned on the gas," a dispatcher said. "It says she was begging again to turn the gas off. She thanked him for turning the gas off. I'm assuming he's cut off the gas now."</p><p>Meantime, officers continued to negotiate with the gunman, who later released the two hostages, both of whom had been beaten, according to Waller. Around 1:15 p.m., the gunman surrendered to police and was taken into custody. His arrest was captured by a neighbor's cell phone camera.</p><p>Waller said police believe the woman who was shot is the mother of one of the two people taken hostage, and that the teen is the daughter of one of the women involved in the incident. Both the woman and the teen who were held hostage were taken to Stroger Hospital to be treated for non-life-threatening injuries.</p><p>"We are incredibly grateful for the swift and accurate work of our Police Department. This is yet another reminder of how hard this department works on behalf of the people of Chicago," Mayor Brandon Johnson said. "It is unfortunate that domestic violence exists in the way that it does in this city, but we are grateful that our Police Department, as well as our SWAT team in particular, that they were able to de-escalate the situation and prevent further harm."</p><p>According to a police source, the wounded officer is 45 years old and has been an officer for 20 years. Waller said he has been on the SWAT team for 12 to 14 years.</p><p>Waller said police are looking into the gunman's background and whether he was involved in any past domestic incidents.&nbsp;</p><p>Neighbors said the couple who live in the home have fought before, but nothing like this.&nbsp;</p><p>One neighbor, who didn't want to be identified, said police told her to get into their house because of how dangerous the situation was.&nbsp;</p><p>"I got nervous because I've got my kid, he's eight, and I just told him to keep away himself from the windows," she said.&nbsp;</p><p>"Just hoping that I make it here, just making sure I get here to the boys as fast as I can," said Anna Machado.</p><p>Machado was relieved to reunite with her boys after leaving them with family who just happened to live across the street from where this happened.</p><p>"They were just letting me know that the kids were safe but that there was a lot of stuff going on outside and my kids were worried," she said. &nbsp;</p><p>Charges are pending as of Monday night.</p>

                      <![CDATA[ <p>The McHenry Outdoor Theater opened 75 years ago, once known as the Skyline Drive-In.&nbsp;</p><p>Three-quarters of a century later, it's still drawing crowds as a classic summer tradition in the age of streaming.</p><p>It takes a lot more than popcorn to prepare for a movie night at the McHenry Outdoor Theater. These days, people get creative&mdash;some even put together a spread, canopy, and blankets.</p><p>On a good day, 600 to 700 cars fill the gravel lot. For many, this is a summer tradition that spans generations.</p><p>"I started coming when I was 17 with my friends and then, you know, I kept coming every year," said Kleira Ocana.&nbsp;</p><p>"I used to bring dad up when he was his age," said Michelle Schindler.</p><p>"My earliest memory in life is here at this theater, seeing 'Star Trek III' and 'Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom' with my mom and dad and sister," said McHenry Outdoor Theater owner Scott Dehn.</p><p>Those memories are what Dehn has been working to preserve since buying the theater in 2000. Back then, movies were still shown on 35-millimeter film.</p><p>But as the industry went digital, the future of the drive-in was uncertain.</p><p>"They don't make new films on 35mm," Dehn said.</p><p>About 15 years ago, the McHenry Outdoor Theater could've gone under if it weren't for a contest that won them their digital projector.</p><p>Theatergoers rallied to help the drive-in win a projector worth more than $200,000.</p><p>Now, the theater is one of only about 300 drive-ins still operating across the country.</p><p>"You don't get to experience this stuff the way society is going nowadays. It's unbelievable that this place is still open," said Jacob Howley.&nbsp;</p><p>Because while the technology has changed, the reason people come hasn't. The chance to share a movie with family, friends, and hundreds of strangers who, for a few hours, feel like neighbors 75 years later.</p><p>"It takes a giant screen to take you from looking at the screens in your pocket, but it works and so I think it's worth continuing," Dehn said.</p><p>To celebrate the anniversary, the theater will give the first 75 cars free admission on Tuesday, July 21, and Thursday, July 23, to showings of the live-action "Moana" and "The Odyssey."</p><p>As part of the theater's "Golden Ticket" promotion, one winner will receive a ticket good for every movie, every season, for the next 75 years.

                      <![CDATA[ <p>Two musicians, one from the Elgin Symphony Orchestra, are sharing their talents with young performers in Syria.</p><p>Music is the language Marc Thayer and John Ferguson speak fluently wherever they go. Thayer is CEO of The Elgin Symphony and Ferguson is a pianist and the founder and executive director of the <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="https://americanvoices.org/programs/yes-academy/">YES Academy</a>.</p><p>On Monday, they were in Damascus, hosting a music academy for about 100 young people in Syria.</p><p>"We have a wonderful group of students, ages about 13 to 20," Thayer said.</p><p>Together, Thayer and Ferguson lead YES Academy.</p><p>"YES stands for youth excellence on stage, and it's a program that we started, as Marc said earlier, in the Kurdistan region of northern Iraq as a nationwide program," Ferguson said.</p><p>They first brought the program to Syria in 2010, but paused it during the revolution and civil war that followed.</p><p>"The country has institutions that are being rebuilt now after, you know, a lot of neglect, so that's what we're really trying to help with is, you know, help strengthen these institutions," Ferguson said.</p><p>Their first year back in Syria marks the first large-scale American cultural exchange program in the country since 2011.</p><p>"We are introducing some new ideas to them, learning from them. A lot cultural sharing going on. We presented some American music. We learned some Syrian music and really try to collaborate with them," Thayer said.</p><p>The 12-day academy culminates with a concert in Damascus.</p><p>"At this point, we have no idea yet what will be in the concert, but it'll be fun," Thayer said.</p><p>YES Academy is truly worldwide. They've brought their program to the Middle East, Africa, Southeast Asia, and South America. <br> </p>

                      <![CDATA[ <p>A sample of lettuce from Taylor Farms that had tested positive for <span class="link"><a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/news/cyclospora-outbreak-foods-to-avoid/" target="_blank">cyclospora</a></span> was a false positive, the Food and Drug Administration said Sunday. But the FDA said Monday that its investigation and data "continue to converge on shredded iceberg lettuce from Taylor Farms locations in central Mexico."&nbsp;</p><p>In the statement announcing the false positive, the FDA said that as of Sunday it had not found any "confirmed positive sample results for product testing for Cyclospora." &nbsp;</p><p>In a subsequent statement Monday, <span class="link"><a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/news/taylor-farms-lettuce-false-positive-cyclospora/" target="_blank">it said</a></span>, "To clarify, this false-positive lab sample DOES NOT change the basis for FDA's ongoing outbreak investigation or the overwhelming epidemiological data supporting the current voluntary recall by Taylor Farms."&nbsp;</p><p><span class="link"><a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/news/taylor-farms-cyclospora-outbreak/" target="_blank">Taylor Farms</a></span> on Friday said it was&nbsp;<span class="link"><a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/news/taylor-farms-pulls-iceberg-lettuce/" target="_blank">"voluntarily removing" iceberg lettuce</a></span> sourced from central Mexico after the lettuce had been linked to one of the largest outbreaks of cyclosporiasis in the U.S. in recent years.&nbsp; &nbsp;</p><p>"While the FDA traceback is indicating a specific independent farm, which represents less than 1% of the U.S.'s iceberg lettuce supply, as the potential source of the outbreak, we have removed all iceberg lettuce from the region indefinitely," the company said Friday in a&nbsp;<a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="https://www.taylorfarms.com/newsroom/taylor-fresh-foods-statement-regarding-cyclospora-outbreak/">statement</a>.</p><p>Testing for the cyclospora parasite is more complicated than for other pathogens, such as E. coli or Salmonella, Jennifer McEntire, founder of food safety consulting firm Food Safety Strategy, told CBS News.</p><p>"With things like cyclospora, it's much more difficult to recreate it in the labs, which means that it's harder to run tests," former associate FDA commissioner Peter Pitts said.</p><p>CBS News medical correspondent Dr. C&eacute;line Gounder said that a false positive test result was "ordinary as a laboratory event."</p><p>"The unusual thing isn't the false positive. It's that an unconfirmed single-sample result went public on a Saturday and was withdrawn on a Sunday," Gounder said. "The question I'd ask FDA is not 'how did the lab get it wrong' but 'what is your policy for announcing a presumptive positive before confirmatory testing closes, and did you follow it?'"</p><p>On Thursday, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention identified lettuce&nbsp;<span class="link"><a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/news/cyclosporiasis-outbreak-taco-bell-lettuce-mexico/" target="_blank">supplied to select Taco Bell</a></span>&nbsp;restaurants as a source of the multistate outbreak, more than a month after cases first began to appear.</p><p>The iceberg lettuce was distributed to Taco Bell restaurants in Indiana, Kentucky, Michigan, Ohio and West Virginia, according to the CDC. Taco Bell said on Friday it had "completed removal of affected Taylor Farms lettuce from our restaurants."</p><p>In a new statement on Monday, Taco Bell CEO Sean Tresvant addressed "fans" of the fast food chain, promising transparency and putting customer safety first.</p><p><em>"</em>This means bringing the right people together, asking the hard questions and doing the work to help build a stronger food system," Tresvant <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:activity:7485063254965166080/">said in a post on LinkedIn</a>. "My thoughts are with everyone affected. There is a better way forward, and we are going to lead the way. We owe that to you."</p><p>Walmart also announced over the weekend it had removed four&nbsp;<a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="https://www.fda.gov/food/outbreaks-foodborne-illness/investigation-5-state-outbreak-cyclospora-illnesses-iceberg-lettuce-july-2026">Marketside bagged iceberg lettuce salad products</a>&nbsp;from its stores in more than two dozen states, but added there was "no indication that products sold in our stores are affected by the current Cyclospora investigations."</p><p>Taylor Farms&nbsp;<a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="https://x.com/YourTaylorFarms/status/2079037403973738528">said</a>&nbsp;Sunday, "Our thoughts remain with everyone who has fallen ill in this outbreak. We are committed to working with public health authorities as the ongoing outbreak investigation continues."</p><p>The outbreak, first reported in May, has spread to 34 states and sickened more than 1,600 people, according to the CDC. However, the CDC's tally lags behind state health departments, which have reported much larger numbers of cases. For instance, the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services&nbsp;<a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="https://www.michigan.gov/mdhhs/keep-mi-healthy/infectious-diseases/infectious-disease-outbreaks">reported</a>&nbsp;more than 5,000 confirmed cases as of Friday.</p><p>"It may be the case, as in the case in most investigations, we will never find out definitively where the source was from," said Timothy Lytton, a professor of law at Georgia State University College of Law who researches health and safety regulation.</p><p>No deaths have been reported.</p><p>Cyclosporiasis is a food- and waterborne&nbsp;<span class="link"><a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/miami/news/south-florida-woman-cyclospora-diagnosis-july-2026/" target="_blank">illness</a></span>&nbsp;caused by the cyclospora parasite, which causes long-lasting, watery and sometimes explosive diarrhea, according to public health experts.&nbsp;</p><p>Outbreaks typically occur in late spring and summer and have historically been linked to bagged salads, cilantro, basil, raspberries, snow peas and green onions.</p>

                      <![CDATA[ <p>Thousands have made the pilgrimage to Pope Leo's childhood home in Dolton, often greeted by the woman who lives next door. </p><p>She's prayed with visitors, offered water and Bibles, even playing gospel music and sermons from her windows.</p><p>Now she says she's facing a fine because of it and says she's concerned about her religious freedom.</p><p>"It was just so humble and I can just imagine that a long time ago he was writing, he must be riding his bike right here with friends," said Niles resident Manny Lucero.&nbsp;</p><p>Any given day, you'll find people stopping by Pope Leo's Childhood home, the sounds of prayer and photographs taken on his front steps.</p><p>"I'm going to Rome in September, so I hope I'm going to see him. Hopefully. So I can show my picture here visiting his house," said Sauganash resident Anabel Yuen.</p><p>For the past year, neighbor Donna Sagna Davis has welcomed the international attention, wearing a clerical collar like the man who inspires the visitors.</p><p>"I feel celebration. I feel we're praying, we're praising, and we're having a good time with the Lord and that's what it should boil down to, just prayer and having fun," Davis said.</p><p>She's collected hundreds of prayers from people who stopped by. However, on May 6, she also got a citation for excessive noise from the village of Dolton.</p><p>"I feel I've been having the feeling of being harassed by city officials of Dolton and the police," she said.</p><p>Davis has played music through a speaker at her window, Gregorian chants off YouTube, or sermons streamed from her church. But she says the city recently tried to fine her $750 to keep her quiet.</p><p>"The ordinance that they quoted was 6-6-9, which specifically applies to vehicles. So, right from the onset, we were very confused why she was receiving these tickets, what the reasoning was," said attorney Adrian Ille.</p><p>Davis' attorney says a hearing officer recently threw out three other police citations related to property upkeep and reclassified this excessive noise violation to a "nuisance."</p><p>"There's no decibel reading, there is no technology use, you know, how can they actually prove that it was too loud?" Ille said.</p><p>Davis is still on the hook for at least $150 in fines, money they think constitutes a violation of her 1st Amendment rights.</p><p>"Once it's religious speech, they have heightened protections. Constitution is very clear. We want to protect religious speech," Ille said.</p><p>Davis says she'll keep quiet for now.</p><p>"I have heard complaints, but not from the people. I've heard complaints from&nbsp;village of Dolton. That's it," she said.</p><p>Though she intends to keep spreading the good word.</p><p>CBS Chicago reached out to the Village of Dolton about this citation and Davis' 1st Amendment rights.</p><p>A representative said they stand behind the citation and would try to provide more information, but we have not heard back.</p>

                      <![CDATA[ <p>Gas prices hit $4 a gallon again as the U.S. and Iran launched <span class="link"><a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/live-updates/iran-war-trump-us-troops-killed-wounded-jordan-base/" target="_blank">more attacks</a></span>.</p><p>The national average for a gallon of gas reached $4.003 on Monday, marking the first time in over a month it has crossed that threshold, according to AAA data. The price represents a national average, meaning drivers in some states are paying more than $4 a gallon, while others are paying less.&nbsp;</p><p>The national average for diesel, which influences the cost of groceries and other goods transported on trucks, reached $5.11 a gallon on Monday.&nbsp;</p><p>Gas prices escalated after the war in Iran began on Feb. 28, hitting a recent high of $4.56 in May. Prices began to moderate as negotiations between the U.S. and Iran progressed, with the two sides reaching an <span class="link"><a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/live-updates/iran-war-us-trump-peace-deal-israel/" target="_blank">interim deal</a></span> in June.</p><p>However, oil and gas prices are creeping higher as fighting between the U.S. and Iran intensifies, with the two sides vying for control of the Strait of Hormuz. Secretary of State Marco Rubio told reporters Sunday that the "only reason" why the U.S. is launching strikes is because of the Islamic Republic's attacks on ships in the waterway, which serves as a vital chokepoint for oil shipments.</p><p>"As the U.S. military degrades the terrorist Iranian regime's ability to attack commercial vessels and disrupt the free flow of energy through the Strait of Hormuz, oil and gas prices will plummet back to pre-conflict levels," White House spokeswoman Taylor Rogers said in a statement to CBS News.</p><p>Oil prices, which influence the price at the pump, have been rising since early July, CBS News' energy tracker <a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/news/gas-oil-prices-cost-iran-war/" target="_blank">shows</a>. Brent crude, the international standard, rose 1% to $88.98 per barrel Monday and benchmark U.S. crude climbed 0.8% to $82.44 per barrel, according to Oilprice.com.</p><p>The rise in gas prices is likely to weigh on voters as U.S. midterm elections approach. In a Gallup <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="https://news.gallup.com/poll/711893/gas-prices-straining-americans-finances-travel-plans.aspx">poll</a> released last month, two-thirds of Americans surveyed said the cost of fuel has caused financial hardship for their household.</p>

                      <![CDATA[ <p>It took 106 minutes for Ferran Torres to score the first and only goal in the <span class="link"><a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/news/biggest-2026-fifa-world-cup-stories/" target="_blank">2026 FIFA World Cup</a></span> final at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey, giving&nbsp;<span class="link"><a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/news/spain-beats-france-world-cup-final/" target="_blank">Spain</a></span>&nbsp;the 1-0 win over&nbsp;<span class="link"><a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/news/argentina-beats-england-world-cup-final/" target="_blank">Argentina</a></span>&nbsp;in the deciding match. </p><p>Spain dominated the match, outshooting Argentina 20-3, but couldn't manage a goal in regulation. Argentina played all of extra time down a man after Enzo Fern&aacute;ndez picked up his second yellow card of the match in the third minute of stoppage time at the end of the second half. </p><p>In the opening moment of the second 15-minute <span class="link"><a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/news/world-cup-2026-soccer-rules/" target="_blank">period of extra time</a></span>, Torres pounced on a bouncing ball in the box and used his left foot to bury a shot just under the crossbar and into the back of the net. Torres, who came on as a substitute in the 62nd minute, smashed the ball past Argentina goalkeeper Emiliano Mart&iacute;nez for his first goal of the World Cup. </p><p>"It was a goal scored by 47 million people," Torres said, referring to Spain's population.   </p><figure class="embed embed--type-image is-image embed--float-none embed--size-feed_phone_image" data-ads='{"extraWordCount":50}'><span class="img embed__content "><img src="https://assets3.cbsnewsstatic.com/hub/i/r/2026/07/19/4dff2bf2-21c2-4542-899e-6e691049608b/thumbnail/620x389/01020860e7b11bbc1b3f6dbfc3ac6c7d/gettyimages-2286805604.jpg#" alt="Spain v Argentina: Final - FIFA World Cup 2026 " height="389" width="620" class=" lazyload" srcset="https://assets3.cbsnewsstatic.com/hub/i/r/2026/07/19/4dff2bf2-21c2-4542-899e-6e691049608b/thumbnail/620x389/01020860e7b11bbc1b3f6dbfc3ac6c7d/gettyimages-2286805604.jpg 1x, https://assets1.cbsnewsstatic.com/hub/i/r/2026/07/19/4dff2bf2-21c2-4542-899e-6e691049608b/thumbnail/1240x778/34e9406469a0b4cd669fd6ea91464a05/gettyimages-2286805604.jpg 2x" loading="lazy"></span><figcaption class="embed__caption-container"><span class="embed__caption">Ferran Torres #7 of Spain celebrates scoring his team's first goal during the FIFA World Cup 2026 Final match against Argentina at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey on July 19, 2026,</span><span class="embed__credit">

Yamal's strike was curling toward the right post, and Martinez dove to knock it away for his 10th save of the afternoon. He would end the game with 12 saves &mdash; the most ever in a World Cup final. <strong><br>  <br> </strong>He leaped to his feet, punching the air and imploring the crowd to get loud. Not long after that came the whistle, sending the game to extra time.  Spain took 15 shots in regulation, Argentina none. Spain took nine corners, Argentina one. And somehow, 90-plus minutes of that sort of dominance weren't enough.  With its victory, Spain became the first nation to simultaneously hold the World Cup crowns in both men's and women's soccer. </p><p>Spain allowed only one goal in eight matches at the tournament, setting a World Cup record for fewest goals allowed by a champion. </p><p>La Roja is now unbeaten in its last 38 matches &mdash; 29 wins, nine draws &mdash; and is now the outright holder of the longest such streak by any European team ever. Italy went 37 matches (28 wins, nine draws) from October 2018 through September 2021, before Spain ended that streak.&nbsp; </p><p>And for the last two-plus years, nobody has beaten Spain. Not even Lionel Messi. An Argentina team that was the king of the late-game rally in this tournament had no answer this time. </p><figure class="embed embed--type-image is-image embed--float-none embed--size-feed_phone_image" data-ads='{"extraWordCount":50}'><span class="img embed__content "><img src="https://assets3.cbsnewsstatic.com/hub/i/r/2026/07/19/8e2f6794-e42c-41f7-b9bc-afd8e294ecbd/thumbnail/620x413/7503be21157586d6deeee6f32e400582/gettyimages-2286187228.jpg#" alt="Spain v Argentina - FIFA World Cup 2026 - Final " height="413" width="620" class=" lazyload" srcset="https://assets3.cbsnewsstatic.com/hub/i/r/2026/07/19/8e2f6794-e42c-41f7-b9bc-afd8e294ecbd/thumbnail/620x413/7503be21157586d6deeee6f32e400582/gettyimages-2286187228.jpg 1x, https://assets3.cbsnewsstatic.com/hub/i/r/2026/07/19/8e2f6794-e42c-41f7-b9bc-afd8e294ecbd/thumbnail/1240x826/dc8212645853c86f95b99bfadad0d85e/gettyimages-2286187228.jpg 2x" loading="lazy"></span><figcaption class="embed__caption-container"><span class="embed__caption">Marc Cucurella of Spain kicks the ball during the FIFA World Cup 2026 Final match between Spain and Argentina in New Jersey on July 19, 2026.</span><span class="embed__credit">

"We are world champions," de la Fuente said. "It was together we reached this stage." <br>  <br> There was some pushing and shoving after the final whistle, including Argentina's Leandro Paredes appearing to grab a Spanish player by the throat. But the fighting was quickly cleaned up, and Spain commenced its celebration as most Argentine players sat on the turf in disbelief. Cooler heads prevailed, and Spain's players lined up minutes later to form an honor guard of sorts for Argentina's squad to walk through on its way to the stage for the runner-up medals. </p><p>With&nbsp;<span class="link"><a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/news/world-cup-2026-schedule-how-to-watch/" target="_blank">48 nations</a></span> from across the globe competing this year, it was the largest FIFA World Cup in history. The men's final capped a 39-day whirlwind that saw more than six million fans attend matches in three different host countries, including, for the first time in decades, the United States.&nbsp; </p><p>The final took place as skies began to clear over the Northeast, after several <span class="link"><a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/news/wildfires-smoke-millions-exposed-midwest-northeast-us/" target="_blank">hazy days of wildfire smoke</a></span> that traveled southward from Canada.
